Nelson (Lancashire) weather

This Evening and Tonight:

Heavy showers easing through the evening with cloud continuing to break and provide some late sunny spells. Remaining dry overnight with mostly clear skies. With light winds, the odd mist and fog patch may form as we head towards dawn. Minimum temperature 9 °C.

Wednesday:

Fine and mostly dry with a good number of sunny spells throughout the day. Perhaps a few showers developing for the afternoon. Light winds and feeling pleasantly warm. Maximum temperature 22 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Sunny spells and scattered showers on Thursday. Rather cloudy on Friday, perhaps a few spots of rain. Unsettled on Saturday, with heavy rain possible. Feeling warm in any sunnier periods.

Early in this period, low pressure is likely to exist to the northwest or north of the UK, allowing areas of cloud and rain to spread across the UK from the west, though some more settled interludes are also likely, especially in the southeast. Breezy at times, with temperatures mainly near or below normal. Remaining changeable thereafter as weather systems to move across the country from the west, with northern and western areas typically wettest and a greater chance of dry conditions prevailing in the southeast. There is, however, a smaller chance for either unsettled weather to be more widely prevalent, or for a more quiescent period to develop across the south, especially later. Overall, temperatures will likely be near normal, but may feel cool in the west at times.

Through this period, there remains a slightly increased chance of more settled spells of weather developing at times, particularly in the south. However, there is still a substantial chance of other weather types too, with more changeable periods also likely. Through the period as a whole, drier than average conditions are more likely than wetter than average. Warmer than average conditions are also weakly favoured overall, with a slightly enhanced likelihood of short-lived hot spells.
